I've been thinking of getting a kettlebell for use at home for those days when I can't make it to the gym, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for one brand over another, or can point me to some good workout videos that feature kettlebells to get me started. Thanks!

    I use these Gold's gym kettle bells and have had great results with these videos.

    I LOVE Kettlebell workouts. My fav is a 10 minute solutions video where I string a few 10 minute segments together to make a great workout.

    As a novice I found the reviews on kettlebell videos all over the place and reading them further confused me as to which was the best. I did learn that form is critically important and found some of the videos on youtube to be very helpful in this regard. For example:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emdIuL7LVLE&feature=relmfu

    This video breaks the movement down making it easier for the beginner to concentrate on proper form rather than trying to follow a video without any prior experience. Concentrating on learning how to do the moves correctly I hope will facilitate my making a better choice when I do shell out the bucks for a dvd. I will say that so far, I really love it and feel stronger after only a couple of weeks.

    Update: I've been using it for three days straight now and the first two days I was like, Oh this is nothing, well I went to get out of bed yesterday and every muscle in my body has been used! I did work up a grea sweat. I love that it's NO impact which for me means it agrees with my Lupus and I can see myself staying with this workout for a while AND all three workouts are only 45 minutes plus the cool down. I can do it in the mornings! (I'm referring the one from Wal-Mart with the DVD included). I can't wait to get strong enough to increase my kettlebell weight!

    I too am looking for kettlebell dvd recommendations. i've probably spent an hour on Amazon, and I'm just confused.
    I went to Target to get a GoFit , but they just had Reebok. It has 2 dvds inside it, but haven't opened it yet.

    Another update: Since my last update I have been told my by doc that I have necrosis of my joints (I went because I was in considerable pain after a week) and should NOT be doing kettlebell exercises. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
